Expert Posts: 1215 Location: SWITZERLAND | Can do what want, it never comes red, as I did now: http://www.forwardlook.net/forums/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=24128&posts=3#M160123 Have copy from top and paste in, not red. Have put brackets on both sides, nothing. Have underlined, nothing. Have "return", nothing. Now I really feel silly. | ||

This link does work , but only within the site you are working in as in from one catagory to another . I ve tried this on another site , from one site to another and it didn t work for me . Is this the same process you use when you are creating links from ebay and craigslist to this site ? There was someone here about a week or two back that posted a link in a thread for a download as a tool of somesort to aid in creating links and I ve gone around different threads and can t seem to locate it . Anyone remember this thread ? | ||

I can post links with XP, Vista, Windows 7 with all major browsers, Firefox included. Make sure "Disable HTML" is unchecked when you create your post or reply. This option is located right below the text box. Here is a little test using the URL for this thread as a link: This is an HTML link http://forwardlook.net/forums/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=23944&post... A link using the URL tag The first is a HTML link using the anchor tag. <a href="---insert url between these quotes---">---insert the text you would like to display for the link here---</a> Properly formatted example: <a href="http://forwardlook.net">A link to Forward Look</a> The second is a straight copy and paste from the address bar The third uses the URL tag which is supported by most major forum/bulletin/blog interfaces.
